| Hello, I just bought a 1990 Featherlite horse/stock trailer and I want to clean up the alum exterior. I'll attach some pics. I live too far (350 round trip)from the truck wash place that offers acid wash. I was wondering if muratic acid would work in a water solution. I know you need to stop its acid action after you put it on, but I don't know what to use for that or the correct mix. I can apply it with a weed pressure sprayer in a car wash place, then wash it off. Any ideas on this topic? I saw a thread on floors but not sides. I will keep the trailer inside a large garage unless I use it, so I want to clean it all up. Tomorrow I get all new wheels brakes and bearings, the wood floor is good and new mats are coming. Any help would be great. Thanks, Terry |

Location: Florida | IMO this is a great opurtunity for the streak master product. There is no worry of running over a polished surface. I would apply with a pump sprayer rub in with a floor brush and after it foams up, rinse it off. The area's of plain aluminum I did last summer on my Sooner are still shinny and bright. For plain unpolished Aluminum I think this is a good idea. http://www.streakmaster.com/ |
